Alejandra Schraier is a Psychotherapist with a background in Psychology and Psychoanalysis. Her training began as a Psychologist in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in 2006 She graduated from New York University with a Masters degree in Social Work. Additionally, she has completed extensive training in Psychoanalysis, at the EOL - World Association for Psychoanalysis.

During more than twenty five years of clinical experience, Alejandra has worked with patients who struggle with anxiety, depression, additions, life transition, family, and relationship problems. Working in New York City for twenty years, she has also gained extensive experience working with a global clientele with cultural diversity.

Alejandra works primarily with a psychodynamic approach that she considers important for helping clients gain insight, a better understanding of themselves, and a better understanding on how their symptoms have manifested and impacted their life.

Alejandra believes that the therapist’s ability to listen to the patients, and to see their underlying issues is one of the most important aspects that contribute to the patients insight and growth in the therapeutic process.

She believes that patient’s symptoms can’t be seen and treated in isolation, and is always important to understand how and when the symptoms have emerged and developed in a persons’s life.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and art therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity exploration, emotional highs and lows, and complicated relationships with alcohol or drugs.

My background in art therapy means there is always another way in when words feel like too much. Creative approaches are optional, but available for those who want them.

Outside of the office, I crochet, travel, go to concerts, and practice flow arts. That curiosity and creativity carries into how I work with clients.

Hey there! My name is Alejandra, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California and Massachusetts. I have primarily worked in hospital settings, with 5 years experience, working with veterans and families, addressing multiple psychosocial needs. In my experience, I have also provided services with supportive counseling in grief/bereavement (individual and group), anxiety, and goal oriented tasks.

Rooted in my graduate training at the University of Rhode Island, I developed expertise in both general clinical and health psychology. I developed a programmatic line of research in health promotion (adoption and maintenance of multiple health behaviors including exercise, smoking cessation and nutritious eating) with a particular focus on exercise motivation as a gateway to adopting other health behaviors.

During my internship and postdoctoral training at VA Connecticut and VA Boston, respectively, my research evolved towards integrating health behavior change (e.g., exercise adoption and maintenance) with veterans suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain and PTSD. As I learned more about the biopsychosocial model of these medically and psychiatrically complex disorders, my ultimate goal became to help veterans better manage their pain and PTSD symptoms, utilizing health behavior change as a complementary component of their overall treatment program. With this approach, the ultimate goal was to help them improve their overall quality of life and well-being, long-term.

My patient oriented research experience, over the past thirteen years, directly informed my approach to my clinical work with individual patients. In fact, I worked for Newton-Wellesley Eating Disorders and Behavioral Medicine for the past fifteen years. As part of this work, I focused on helping individuals suffering from the full continuum of eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder) to sustain their recovery long-term and achieve "recovery maintenance" through establishment and achievement of additional life goals and to move beyond their "eating disorder" identity to a "whole person" identity to create a more meaningful life post-recovery. Additionally, as part of this practice, I treated patients suffering from anxiety, PTSD, chronic musculoskeletal pain and depression as well as veterans from the community.

You don’t have to keep pretending everything is fine.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or from the people you love you’re not alone. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or the weight of past experiences, therapy can help you feel more grounded and in control.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals and couples ready to move beyond survival mode. My clients often come to me feeling exhausted by negative self-talk, repeating painful relationship patterns, or struggling to manage emotions that feel too big or too numb. They want to feel better but they’re not sure where to start.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Social Worker, and Board-Certified Dance Movement Therapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to having a healthy and successful life. I’ve been counseling for 19 years, but in the last decade, I have shifted my main focus to female clients aged 18 and up who are struggling with anxiety and trauma.
